He tested his armor against Du Busi and revealed that his Sixth Soul Skill could reverse time by five seconds, leaving Du Busi baffled as his punch missed.

• Luo Feng reunited with Long Aotian at the palace entrance and entered with Ma Xiaotao, where Nan Qiuqiu welcomed him.
• Du Busi challenged Luo Feng after Nan Shuishui’s suggestion that the Earth Dragon Sect become one of the Heaven Dou Empire’s Three Great Sects angered the Body Sect.

Luo Feng used Time Stop to kick Du Busi out of the arena, winning the bout and earning new cultivation and Soul Skill rewards. Du Busi suspected the Jade Dragon King was behind the strange effect, while Luo Feng turned to Nan Shuishui and Nan Qiuqiu to claim the Earth Dragon Sect’s place among the Three Great Sects.

• Du Busi broke their agreement by summoning his full Martial Soul Avatar, and Luo Feng decided to use Time Stop.
• Luo Feng froze time, failed to drag the enormous Du Busi, and kicked him out of bounds.

• Zhongli Wu summoned a Bone Dragon blessed by the Silver Dragon King's blood and used its roar to weaken nearby fighters.
• Ye Xishui confronted Ma Xiaotao and Yan Shaozhe, but Yan Shaozhe revealed his Bright Phoenix martial soul and addressed Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui as his ancestors.

• Zhongli Wu’s Death God Demon Puppet cracked apart, and the linked attack aged his body, turned his hair white, and left him near death.

• Du Busi summoned several Super Douluos above level 95, suggesting that they would surround Long Xiaoyao.
